'''Your tolerance profile is what the tests found. This is what you decide.''' Two controls, and they sit beside your results rather than on top of them.
== How each group suits you ==
Each of the six FODMAP groups has a setting with three positions.
| Setting | What Loopa does with it |
|---|---|
| '''No limit''' | A food flagged only for that group stops being flagged |
| '''Small amounts''' | Fine below the published cutoff for a serving; flagged at or above it |
| '''Leave it out''' | Flagged wherever that group turns up, however small the amount |
Leave a setting alone and the protocol decides, exactly as it did before.
== Fructans split four ways ==
Fructans are the one group with sub-settings: '''wheat and grains''', '''onion and garlic''', '''fruit''' and '''vegetables'''. Fructan tolerance genuinely differs by source, and plenty of people are fine with bread and undone by onions (Whelan K et al., ''Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics'', 2018 · [https://doi.org/10.1111/jhn.12530 doi:10.1111/jhn.12530]).
Set one of the four and it governs foods from that family. Leave one alone and it follows whatever you set for fructans as a whole. So "onion and garlic: leave it out" plus "wheat and grains: no limit" is a real combination, and it colours a bowl of pasta and a plate of onions differently.
Not every food can be traced to one of the four. An added fructan such as inulin does not say on the label what it was extracted from, and a label that reads "natural flavors" is a flag precisely because it does not say. Those follow your fructans setting rather than a family one.
== When each setting starts working ==
'''Leave it out''' works from the moment you set it, in every phase where Loopa is checking anything at all. Nothing in the protocol depends on you eating something.
'''No limit''' and '''Small amounts''' work in the personalization phase, the last one. During the short restriction trial and the testing that follows, everything is measured the same way, because the whole value of those phases is a comparison, and a comparison only means something if the terms do not move partway through. The settings screen says which of the two you are in.
Neither setting touches the food you are testing during a challenge. That one is the point of the exercise and Loopa will not talk you out of it.
== Suggested from your reintroduction ==
Finish a challenge and Loopa suggests the setting that matches what your log showed: '''Reacted''' suggests leave it out, '''Fine up to a point''' and '''Mixed''' suggest small amounts, '''No reaction''' suggests no limit.
It is a suggestion on the control, not a change to it. Take it or leave it, and either way it stops asking. Test that group again later and a new result raises a new suggestion, which is the behaviour you want from something that is allowed to change.
Your test results are never overwritten by a setting, and a setting is never overwritten by a test result. They are two different facts and the tolerance profile still shows the first.
== Marking a food ==
Any food can be marked as one you get on with or one that bothers you. A mark follows that food everywhere Loopa rates it: search, the meal planner, what the app suggests, and the check you run before you eat. It shows as your own mark, not as a measurement.
Mark a food Loopa recognises and the mark reaches every way you write it, so "onion" covers the red one in tonight's dinner. Mark a dish Loopa does not recognise and it covers that dish by the name you gave it.
'''One thing a mark cannot do.''' Marking a food you get on with does not turn a food Loopa has no measurements for into one it says is fine. Where nothing has been measured, Loopa says so and shows your mark beside that answer. Your own experience is the best evidence there is about you, and it is not a measurement of what is in the food.
== Where to find them ==
On the web, Low FODMAP → '''What suits you'''. Everything on that page is yours to change or clear whenever you like.
